Local cultural enriches eyes, ears and economy

 

Loveland’s art, artists and the business of art enrich our eyes, ears and economy.  Members of the City’s Cultural Services Department discuss Loveland’s internationally- recognized cultural character during this month’s “Loveland’s Talking” on cable TV channel 16.

            The history of the Loveland Museum/Gallery as well as its offerings to adults and youngsters makes up part of the discussion.  The history of the Rialto Theater, its popularity and success is also discussed.

            Loveland’s popular series of concerts, festivals and other events are highlighted.  Discussion also focuses on the City’s Art in Public Places program. 

In addition, the guests present information on a national study that details how nonprofit art and cultural enterprises have a major economic effect both nationally and locally.

            “Loveland’s Talking” is part of the City’s Programs of Interest segment on channel 16.  This month’s segment includes two additional programs.

Menopause is an unavoidable fact of life for women. Many dread the hormonal changes and associated symptoms. But menopause doesn’t have to be difficult and in fact, can be a life-changing and liberating experience for many women that some claim they wouldn’t trade. In this issue of Boston City TV’s “About Health” series, Jeanne Blake and her guests discuss menopause including more modern drug therapies and other strategies for making this transition smooth and comfortable.

The other Programs of Interest video shows how the City of Loveland is currently working with Colorado State University to test an innovative mixture of old tire rubber and soil to be used as road filler.

Antonio Carraro, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at Colorado State University is working with Loveland Civil Engineer Tom Knostman and a large team to apply and test a mixture of expansive soil and scrap tire rubber just below the pavement of a 200-foot, low-volume stretch of road near I-25. This program explores this experiment and discusses the potential environmental and monetary benefits.

Programs of Interest is presented every month on Loveland cable TV channel 16:

Mondays and Fridays at 8 a.m.

Saturdays and Sundays at 11 a.m.

Wednesdays and Sundays at 4 p.m.
